Hi there ! I never normally do this but I had to comment and tell you how much I adore your blog! I just came across it now and I am so happy I have, it is so wonderful and you truly have a great blog. I am going to follow you so I can keep up to date with all of your latest posts. Keep up the great work!

I haven’t read this in a long time and have nearly forgotten it. I love the cover, a fine example of a rare artist who actually did their research: most artists simply do horrible horses (and horse derived creatures like centaurs).
